The US voice of the world's largest network of environmental groups

About Me

JOIN US!



Friends of the Earth is the U.S. voice of an influential, international network of grassroots groups in 70 countries. Founded in San Francisco in 1969 by David Brower, Friends of the Earth has for decades been at the forefront of high-profile efforts to create a more healthy, just world. Our members were the founders of what is now the world's largest federation of democratically elected environmental groups, Friends of the Earth International.

Among our present efforts are successes that draw headlines nationwide and international and local efforts that make a difference in your backyard and those of people a world away.
